I object to fishing tournaments less for what they do to fish than what they do to fishermen.

Baseball is the only field of endeavor where a man can succeed three times out of ten and be considered a good performer.

I hope somebody hits .400 soon. Then people can start pestering that guy with questions about the last guy to hit .400.

All the bullets and all the bombs that explode all over the world won't leave the impact, when all is said and done, of a dollar bill dropped in the Jimmy Fund pot by a warm heart and a willing hand. You should be proud and happy to know that your contribution will someday help some kid to a better life.

People always told me that my natural ability and good eyesight were the reasons for my success as a hitter. They never talk about the practice, practice, practice.

They invented the All-Star game for Willie Mays.

All I want out of life is that when I walk down the street, folks will say, "There goes the greatest hitter who ever lived."
